I uploaded my CGI script . How to execute that script ?

Before executing scripts you need to follow below steps to avoid any errors.

1) You need to upload your script to the "cgi-bin" directory.

2) Make sure you upload them in ASCII mode.

3) Change permissions to 755 for the script (chmod 755 ).

Then you can access your script via                             http://www.yourname.com/cgi-bin/scriptname.cgi

Note: You can't run CGI or PERL scripts when your domain is under propagation.
